"Mental disorder or mental illness are terms used to refer to a psychological or physiological pattern that occurs in an individual and is usually associated with distress or disability that is not expected as part of normal development or culture."
So immediately you can see that anybody could potentially fit the description of mentally ill. Imagine if you were in a culture like the ancient Mayans where everybody was expected to take part in rituals of human sacrifice. Anybody not willing to take part in the killing would be considered mentally ill from that frame of reference. I'm sure some people had a natural inborn repulsion to what was being done at the time, and as such their 'illness' would manifest as a form of distress.
Paranoid schizophrenia is essentially a diagnosis stating that somebody is living under delusions about the world or society around them, but that they do not suffer from visual or auditory hallucinations, and exhibit no external symptoms. Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but technically everybody is a paranoid schizophrenic, because nobody is completely aware of their surroundings, and as such their reactions are based on subjective misunderstanding and personal experience rather than complete objective truth. I believe that it is possible, however, for an individual to transcend mere personal opinion, and come to terms with the genuine, objective truth around them.
The conflict occurring between individual opinion and societal norms is thrown into especially dramatic relief when one becomes aware of the plan by certain elites to reduce Planet Earth to a two-tier slave colony under a One World government and tries to relate this fact to their fellow citizens who are living under the ignorant banner of imagined freedom. One only need investigate the inner workings of the global banking system and the United Nations, or secret societies such as Skull and Bones, Bohemian Grove, The Council On Foreign Relations, or The Bilderberg Group, among others, and attempt to publicize their accurate findings to discover the hard line between what is accepted as free speech and what is considered socially volatile and passed off either as a mere 'conspiracy theory' or worse, the delusions of a paranoid mind.
The problem is that psychiatrists have essentially laid claim to the ultimate understanding of this truth, and if somebody is doing something that they themselves don't understand, they will operate on the assumption that the person is mentally ill. The great frustration I've had personally, is that the psychiatrists would only make diagnoses based on their own misunderstanding and would not take the time to investigate the things I was saying, which I know to be truth, and they either did not know, or pretended not to know about.
Thousands of decent, sane individuals are being held against their will in a system akin to those run by German and Soviet secret police in the past. Psychiatrists are very well paid to enforce the status quo based on guidelines generally based around the dictates of the American Psychological Association.
The American Psychological Association was founded in 1892, under heavy influence of the elite Yale University death cult, the Skull and Bones Society, also known as the Order of Death. Founding members of the Psychological Association who were also members of the Skull and Bones Society include Daniel Coit Gilman (also founding president of John Hopkins University), and Andrew D. White (founding president of Cornell University). It is obvious then, that psychological norms are being decided by those who are anything but healthy role models for the rest of us.
I recently confronted a group of psychiatrists holding a closed meeting in a church, a meeting that seemed anything but Christian in tone and scope, asking them if Christ would have been considered mentally ill and detained if he were alive today. I told them that it was unfair to expect everyone to want to be a member of this society, considering the environmental and social harm we're committing, and I tried to defend the right of people to NOT live in a way that is considered normal. I received applause from nearly the entire audience for asking these questions.
Naturally, disinformation and distraction tactics were used in the reply I received - it was anything but a straight answer. I also pointed out the fact that there are no actual objective diagnostic tests employed by psychiatrists, and they are essentially given authority to hold lives in the balance on the basis of subjective opinion, meaning it is not a true science at all, but rather a means of dictatorial control.
One speaker made the point that if a client comes to them asking for a diagnosis it sometimes makes it difficult for the psychiatric assessment to proceed. I asked her why this was the case, and said, "if I went to a doctor with chest pains and asked for a diagnosis, it certainly wouldn't interfere with the medical process". I essentially received a veiled threat of future confinement as a response.
When pressed, psychiatrists reveal that they have no actual justification for the decrees they make, only that they are given unaccountable authority to maintain the status quo by forcing untested drugs, daily injections, and even electric shock 'therapy' on those who dare to step out of social lines.
